Step-by-step solution

To convert the improper fraction 1311\frac{13}{11} into a mixed number, we need to perform division to separate the whole number from the fractional part.

  • Step 1: Divide the numerator by the denominator. - Perform the division: 13÷11=113 \div 11 = 1. Since 13 is not a multiple of 11, we obtain a quotient and a remainder. - The division gives a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 2 (since 1311×1=213 - 11 \times 1 = 2).
  • Step 2: Express the remainder as part of the fraction. - The remainder is 2, and this will be the numerator of the fractional part. - The denominator remains the same, 11.
  • Step 3: Write the mixed number. - Combine the whole number and the fraction. - The mixed number is 12111\frac{2}{11}.

Now, let's verify our solution with the given choices. The correct option matches Choice 2, which is 12111\frac{2}{11}.

Therefore, the fraction 1311\frac{13}{11} as a mixed number is 12111\frac{2}{11}.

Final Answer

1211 1\frac{2}{11}

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Division Rule: Divide numerator by denominator to find whole number part
  • Technique: Use 13÷11=1 13 \div 11 = 1 remainder 2 for mixed number
  • Check: Verify 1211=1311 1\frac{2}{11} = \frac{13}{11} by converting back ✓

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Confusing quotient and remainder positions
    Don't put the remainder as the whole number = 2111 2\frac{1}{11} instead of 1211 1\frac{2}{11} ! The quotient becomes the whole number, not the remainder. Always remember: quotient = whole number, remainder = new numerator.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

How do I know when a fraction is improper?

+

A fraction is improper when the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. Since 13 > 11, 1311 \frac{13}{11} is improper and can be converted to a mixed number!

What if the division comes out even with no remainder?

+

Then you get a whole number with no fractional part! For example, 2211=2 \frac{22}{11} = 2 because 22 ÷ 11 = 2 with remainder 0.

Can I use a calculator for the division?

+

Yes, but be careful! Calculators give decimals like 1.18, but you need the whole number quotient and remainder. It's often easier to do the division by hand for mixed numbers.

Why does the denominator stay the same?

+

The denominator represents the size of each piece, which doesn't change! Only the numerator changes because we're separating whole pieces from the fractional pieces.

How can I check if my mixed number is correct?

+

Convert your mixed number back to an improper fraction: 1211=1×11+211=1311 1\frac{2}{11} = \frac{1 \times 11 + 2}{11} = \frac{13}{11} . If you get the original fraction, you're right!
